The following is the famous recipe used
by Mrs. Henry Clay for curing hams,
several hogsheads of which were annually
sent to Boston, where, under the name of
"Ashland hams" they commanded the
highest of prices, especially among the
wealthy Wings of that city.
For every ten hams Of moderate size, she
took three and one-half pounds of fine
salt, one pound Of saltpetre and two
pounds Of brown sugar, and after mixing
these thoroughly together, rubbed the
hams Herewith on either side. They were
then packed in tight box and placed in a
cool outhouse for about three weeks, when
the hams were taken out and put in a
picking tub or hogshead and covered with
brine strong enough to swim an egg
After remaining in the pickle for about
three weeks they were taken out, thor
oughly rubbed with fresh salt and hung
up in well ventilated house for q few
days to dry. Next they were transferred
to the smoke house, where they were hung
up and smoked with green hickory or
walnut wood until they acquired the color
Of bright mahogany. This accomplished
each ham was sewed up in canvas, the
coverings whitewashed, and hung up to
dry, after which they were whitewashed
again and packed away in hogsheads with
hickory ashes, until wanted either for
home use or sending to Boston.

The New York Times has the temer.
ity to say that "in Congress there are no
great leaders," and clinches the state
ment by the following:
Nobody would certainly think Of
comparing Congress to-day with the
Congress Of war times, or for half a
dozen years after the war. That body
at present Is composed largely In both
houses of men of moderate ability, mar
row and common place views, unable
and undeslro1s to master the questions
of the day, and below rather than above
the level Of the more intelligent of
their constituents"
1t would seem that the Times has
never heard of "onr own Mckinley"
and his fresh batch Of statistics on the
tariff" which he lugged down to Wash.
ington. The Young Napoleon should
not delay cultivating the acquaintance
of Times correspondent, to the extent
OF a few dollars at least, so that the
Times may know that there is one'
statesman In Congress who Is above Che
level Of his constituents.

1ing horses 1n1 box stalls Indispensable,
why arc these not valuable for farmers2
asks The National Stockman. 1t would
cost but little to build them; and there are
few barns or stables in the country which
have not room enough for them if space
was properly utilized. Farmers, think Of
this. The first time you have few min
Utes to spare investigate the matter, and
see if you cannot arrange your stables so
tat you can have nice roomy box stall
for each horse and have everything more
convenient tian before. If you can do
this you viii be able to do away with
haiters entirely, you will need have no
fears Of your horses hurting each other
and your horses will be able to do more
work, on account of t-.e better rest they
obtain by beng free to turn round and lie
down as they choose. Try it.

The shed shown in the accompanying

posts two or more feet in the ground, five
to seven feet apart The middle row
should be enough higher than the others

Chairman Hatch, of the house commit
tee on agriculture, received from Com
missioner Colman reply to the resolu-
ton offered q few days before by Mr.
Swinburne of New York, in which the COM
missioner sets forth comprehensively the
difficulties met in the attempt to eXtirpate
or control the pleuro-pneumoni scourge
in the present state of the law and with
the machinery at hand, and re-enforces his
recommendations previously made for
more heroic methods. The commissioner
argues that the quarantine Of infected
cattle, even if it could be efficiently done,
does not prevent the spread Of the con-
tagion, except in isolated cases, and that
tile losses from restrictions in trade
are greater than those caused by the dis
ease itself, He has therefore recommended,
and does now recommend, as the only
measure which will eX6rpate the plague
and prevent both the direct and Indirect
losses, that wherever an infected herd is
discovered al exposed animals he slaugh-
tered, the premises thoroughly disinfected,
and the owner compensated for the loss to
